AR Portfolio

AR Portfolio – Now updated to Version 2.2
What is AR Portfolio? It’s pre-configured platform for Unity3D to rapidly build an augmented reality app around your 3D models. Great for any 3D artists who want to show off their own work to prospective clients, friends, fellow artist or turn into an app they can produce and sell to a customer. The shallow learning curve is also ideal for students and schools, and can easily be added to any curriculum.

Key advantages of AR Portfolio over other AR solutions:

Ground Plane detection that works reliably on Android and iOS devices

Image marker detection that doesn’t cost anything extra, and has no license fees.

All of your work stays on the device and is not hosted in the cloud or on our servers. 100% of your work is yours.

No hidden fees, service contracts, or anything that locks you into our platform.

Light Estimation works reliably and consistently on all platforms

System requirements stay updated with the latest versions of supporting software, and don’t require you to use outdated software.

This kit contains:

A secret webpage just for ARPortfolio users that will contain tips, videos, and additional features. This will walk you through all of the hard / tedious / obscure parts of setting up your environment.

A Unity project preconfigured for deployment to Android, iOS, Mac, and Windows platforms.

Realtime Light Estimation and a custom solution for platforms that don’t support it

Instructions for creating extremely high speed, high quality, faked shadows and a realtime custom shadow engine that works on all platforms.

A custom user interface that allows you to control placement, rotation, and scale

A simplified model loading system that requires practically no setup.

Hundreds of hours of testing on multiple devices

Custom, in-depth error checking to detect multiple failure states

Hundreds of lines of custom code to control all of the above features. You will never need to look at them, but they’re well documented in case you want to learn how it all works.

Ongoing development with frequent updates, to keep the product at the cutting edge of augmented reality advances.

Months of work went into refining this project, which started as the AR-Showcase Factory, then months of testing as AR Portfolio 1.x, to create the most advanced augmented reality quick-start package in the industry. We’ve finally made the big switch to the core engines for each platform, and AR Portfolio switches between them as needed. Here are a few tech demos of various capabilities. Note that all features are available on all platforms now.

At this time, AR Portfolio uses ARCore and ARKit as its base AR platforms.
